The popular Oregon Coast 50k and 30k are sold out. Alex Giebelhaus is in. He will toe the line on Saturday, October 7th @ 9:00 am.

Hosted by Rainshadow Running, the Oregon Coast 50k will traverse from “…beach to the bluffs to ridges high above to waves crashing into rocks just feet away…” Never far away from the ocean, and “incredibly scenic,” the race starts “…on a wide, flat beach just south of Waldport, Oregon…to the small seaside town of Yachats and past it to Cape Perpetua Park. After running a big loop at Cape Perpetua, you’ll head back to an ocean-side finish at a hotel lawn in Yachats. Most of the miles are on fun, soft singletrack, that winds its way along the course, and for the 50k distance, there’s a 6 mile stretch of sandy, but firm beach running at the start, a tiny bit of pavement, and some packed gravel trail to round out the course…” The post-race festivities are sure to be memorable, with drinks, hot food and live bluegrass. Wishing all the best for Alex and all other racers in the 50k/30k!On Sunday, October 8th, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon will take off with teammate, Amber Morrison seeking the Olympic Trials standard for the 2020 Olympic Trials (2:45:00).  Morrison last raced Chicago in 2014, where she placed 45th F in a time of 2:49:15, despite nursing an injury. With a PR of 2:46, Morrison will toe the line healthy and hungry this year, having narrowly missed the last OTQ. Live race day results and tracking can be found HERE. We will be following her obsessively via the Chicago Marathon app; her bib # is 379. Good Luck Amber!!
